Disaster Emergency Logistic Telemedicine Advanced Satellite System

DELTASS is a space-based system designed to improve the benefits and efficiency of the rescue, first medical aid and emergency operations in disaster situations like earthquakes or explosions. In such situations, the existing terrestrial infrastructure could be damaged. The space systems then suitably complement partly destroyed terrestrial infrastructure to meet the requirements of emergency healthcare services such as fast deployment of the management of the logistic and medical means or remote medical expertise. The DELTASS system enables the mobile paramedical or medical teams to co-ordinate their medical actions towards victims, to generate and transmit locational and medical data directly from the disaster field to a coordination centre in an automatic and easy way, using adapted light space-backed equipment. The DELTASS system also allows distant medical equipment or image manipulations and real time telediagnosis by specialised medical doctors on remote sites.
